·Tele-Health Technology
  • Technology Assessment: KPG provides a comprehensive assessment of the current and leading edge technologies which can be considered in the decision process for solutions in the PACS, Tele-Radiology, Tele-medicine, Tele-Health, RIS, Storage, ASP and IT arenas.

     
  • Analogue to Digital Migration Strategies: KPG provides in-depth analysis into the strategies of moving an organization from an analogue to a digital environment. Inherently, this analysis provides the client with clear, succinct requirements definitions, a clear understanding of "WHY" an organization is going digital, what their expectations are of the organization and of the system and a detailed process for them to follow from requirements definition through system acceptance.

     
  • RIS Analysis & Implementation Strategies: Key to any digital environment process is the analysis around the inclusion or upgrade of a Radiology Information System. We couple our technology assessment with the workflow needs of the client to insure the RIS selection process meets the needs of the client for the short and long term.

     
  • Tele-Health Solutions Assessment: KPG assists our clients as their organization grows and matures, to identify and define the new challenges the client will face in the support of their patients, especially the elderly demographic. These facets require the client to be knowledgeable of how to project their patient care outside their facility or campus and to the home to support the bed ridden and elderly patients; be able to seamlessly interface to an assisted living facility for remote monitoring, tele-psychology or a telemedicine sessions using home monitoring devices and video teleconferencing technologies.

     
  • Electronic Medical Record Analysis: As our clients become comfortable with their new digital environment (PACS, Tele-radiology, etc.), KPG provides analysis for the transition to a fully functional electronic medical record (EMR) solution.

     
  • Practice Management Re-engineering: One of the most critical phases of finalizing a digital environment transition is the analysis of a client prior workflow environment (base-lining) versus their new workflow environment. KPG calls this phase practice management re-engineering. KPG's approach is process-oriented insuring the client's new environment is fully documented, their employees are educated on the changes and a system is put in place so the client can internally manage new changes as they arise.

     
     
     
    ·Telecommunications Technology
  • Telecommunications Planning: KPG provides a full range of planning services including network analysis for voice, video and data environments as they apply to the implementation of PACS, Tele-Radiology, Tele-Health and Tele-Home solutions. Included in this offering is configuration design and performance analysis to insure the client gets the best performance possible from their network infrastructure.

     
  • Community-based Health Information Networks Design: KPG has broadened its approach to WAN, VPN, EMR and use of web to a concept called Community-based Health Information Network Design. This approach provides the client with a comprehensive, cohesive and fully integrated approach to tie all critical elements of health information distribution into one seamless, fully integrated network. This gives the client a single view of the applications within their enterprise and a consistent interface with referring physicians and other medical professionals within a community.
